Bear Cub

Partial day camp for children ages 4 - 6.

DETAILS

Summer Camp

Bear Cub helps guide children as they discover animals throughout the zoo. Each curriculum has a theme; the lens through which campers will build skills such as mindfulness, peer collaboration, empathy and scientific inquiry. A daily routine including morning circle, bathroom breaks, snacks and lunch will help set campers up for school year success. While the daily routine is the structure of the curriculum there is day to day flexibility which allows instructors to focus on campers’ immediate needs and interests; each day is a new adventure.

Summer Camp 2023 Themes

 

Play Like an Animal

From leaping baby monkeys to bouncing otter pups to stalking tiger cubs, play is the work of youngsters of all species. In this fun camp your littlest animal lover will play pretend games that give them the perspective of animals all over the world, and also play games about animals! 

 

Healthy Like Me

What do animals need to stay healthy? Every species is different, but we all have a lot in common, too! Through stories, observation, and imaginative play, campers will discover what animals need to stay healthy, and how similar most of those needs are to our own.
